Good Dads

Good Dads is for all dads—because any dad can be a great parent. All he needs are the right tools. All fathers, despite different upbringings, experiences, barriers and strengths, have the capacity to be Good Dads. We’re here to encourage, equip and empower all dads to be the best parents they can be. At Good Dads, we serve biological fathers, stepdads, granddads and father-figures.

Good Dads is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, with chapters throughout the state. We encourage fathers through inspiration, resources and events to help them be the best dads they can be. Our mission is to inspire, resource and encourage all fathers to be more involved in the lives of their children. We aim to build better communities by promoting engaged fatherhood. The three key ingredients for a great place to live are robust economies, safe neighborhoods and strong schools. But a community without engaged fathers can’t hope to have any of these!
